The Reverse of Snnnressed

What will the sectionalists and bloody
shirt wavers say to the charge that the
negro vote Of Atlanta was last Saturday
almost multiplied by two instead Of
being suppressed? One Of our eX-
changes SAYS that the Atlanta Prohibit
tionists have flied a protest against the
recent election, in which they assert that
in Fulton county there were two thou
sandnegroes illegally registered voters,
and consequently that there were two
thousand Illegal votes cast by negroes
against prohibition.
Now these charges must be set down
as unfounded by the sectionalists, orelse
they must concede that all charges that
the negro vote is suppressed are false, SO
far at least as Atlanta is concerned. We
should like to hear from WHTELAw
REID, MURAT HALsTEAD, and JOHN
SHERMAN on this new phase Of the negro
suffrage problem.

Remarkable Death by Drowning.


ERIE, Pa, November 30.-James Nc
Laughlin and Robert Pryor, fishermen.
were drowned about half mile off the
shore OF Presque Isle yesterday. The
manner of their death is remarkable.
They started ont early yesterday morn
ing and pulled their nets, making such a
large haul that the boat was laden to the
waters edge. At this time they were two
miles from the shore, and the surface of
the water was covered with slush and
ice several inthes thick. The men
weighed anchor and started back, bat
the wind rising caused the boat to pitch
heavily and every lurch caused her to
ship large quantities OF semi-liquid ice.
Seeing that it was impossible 10 reach
Erie harbor the men turned for the
shore, but when half mile out an un-

with the fourteenth amendment the eye-
ral southern States would not have given
the negro the ballot, and the malignant
leaders are now engaged in approaching
themselves for their blindness. In con-
clusion the GIobc-Dcmocrat, 10y way OF
hedging, says:
"This does not imply, however, that
the negro should now be disfranchised.
Senator Sherman is far from holding
such an opinion as that, and the Repub-
lican party could not be induced to ac-
celt It under any circumstances.
Our contemporary may rest easy as
regards that matter. The South will
never give up the additional representa-
ton she has secured in Congress.

Observation-Disclosures l, 1887.



We showed some days ago that as
there are thirteen new Republican aena-
tors and only twelve new Democratic
senators, and as there are besides these
new senators, and counting Mr.. RIDDLE
BERGER as a Republican, only twenty-SiX
Republican senators to twenty-five Demo
cratic senator's, il depends upon Mr..
RIDDLEEERGER TO seat or not to seat the
new senators who viii apply for admis-
sion into the Senate on Monday
next. st the time we penned
that article it WIS supposed that
the titles of several of the new sena-
tors would be contested. Florida, In
diana, West Virginia, and New Jersey
were then expected to furnish each a
contest for place in the United States
Senate. Since thsn We have seen it
stated that Mr.. TURPlE. of Indiana,
knows of nobody who proposes 10 con
test his seat. AS 10 Florida aud New
Jersey, it may be said that there is no
more reason for contest in those States
than for one in West Virginaor Indiana
We have spoken AS if there
was no substantial reason for a contest
from West Virginia. yet we have not
heard that Mr.. Lucas has abandoned his
claim to "A seat in the United States Sen
ate. The Wheeling Hcqist,r, however
tells It's readers that in the caucus OF
Democratic senators held in Washing
ton the other day 1t appeared that if Mr..
Lucas was to be seated it would be by
Republican votes. seeing that not one
Democratic senator countcnanced his
contest.
Just here Mr. RmDLEREgGER VII
have an opportunity to show whether ne
will allow partisan prejudice to inhu
ence him 10 vote to seat an applicau'
claiming seat under M appointmeot
made by Governor when there is CO..
applicant chosen by the Legislature IN
strict conformity 10 The act of Congress
providing for senatorial elections, and in
rigid compliance with the constitutional
provision on the same subject
This West Virginia case is peculiar
contest Mr. Lucas does not aver that
Mr. FAULKNER was not fairly cnos by
the Legislature, nor that there Was any
other candidate voted for as United
States senator from West Virginia at III,
time of MIR FAuLKyTRs election, bu
that the Legislature had 10 right to elect
United States senator at called
session. Why not? Because the Con-
stitution of West Virginia provides thu
at called session the Legislature shat
do no business to which its attention is
not called by the Governor. As the
Governor had already appointed Mr..
Lucas before the Legislature met he OF
course did not ask that body 90 elect
senator to onst his appoiutec. But that
neglect OF duty was a matter OF no i'm
portance, seeing that the Constitution OF
the United States provides that every
vacancy in the United States Senate
shall be filed at "thc next meeting" OF
the Legislature of the State in whose
representation the vacancy exists
We do not doubt at all that ar
FAULKNER will be seated in the end All
We fear in connection with the matter is
that he may he kept ont of the Senate
for time as a means Of perfecting aud
strengthening the Republican organiza
ton of that body.

"1t seems strange that men who achieved
great success in particular sphere should
believe that their fort lay in another direc-
ton, and yet they frequently do" was the
remark of well known gentleman yester-
day. There was the late Governor STEPHENS,
who reached high plane as statesman and
author, and who, certainly. was considered
successful man with a successful career; vet
Mr.. Stephens always thought that he had
missed his calling. He frequently spoke
about his mistake, as he was pleased to call
it, and while there were few in his lifetime
who would have agreed with him, ne never
theless was honest and sincere about the mat
ter"
"What did he think he should have triedsn
asked one of the party. "Wby, nothing less
than the science of war. Mr. Stephens
thought he was admirably fitted to command
large army, that his talents lay in the way
of strategy, maneuvering and military
fnesse. He often limited that Confederate
campaigns might have resulted differently
had he engineered them. OF course, he was
aware that he lacked the physical capacity to
put in execution his ideas His intention was
that with some one to execute the plans he
developed and shaped, great success would
follow. do not know that this popularity
was generally known, but it was true of the

1t has struck me since that had this old gentle

bigger in his own estimation, seen himself as

Antidote for Germs and Funri.

DIR. A. B. Grifiths, an English pbysi-
clan, has just published a communication
which is of great Importance to horticultur-
lists and agriculturists. He demonstrates
that iron sulphate is an antidote for many of
the most virulent epidemics which attack field
and garden crops These diseases are due to
microscopic funguses, whose structures are
built up in a somewhat different manner to
the corresponding parts in other plants 1t
appears that the cellulose in these funguses is
acted upon by iron sulphate, whereas in the
higher plants the celIulose Of the cell walls is
not influenced. The iron sulphate destroys
the cellulose Of the funguses, but does not af-
feet that of the attacked plant. 1t is, there
fore, an antidote and destroyer of such para
site germs and funguses as the potato dis
ease, wheat mildew, etc.-Frank Leslie's.

LIFE ON THE FARM.

At the foot of the hill the milk house
stands,
Where the Balm of Giliead spreads his
hands, Tip.
And the willow trails at each pendant
The lazy lash of golden whip,
And an ice-cold spring with twinkling
sound green ground.
Makes bright green edge for the dsr
Cool as cave is the air within,
Brave are the shelves with the burnish-
ed tin white
OF the curving shores. and the seas of
Then turn to gold in a single night,
As if the disc of winter moon
Should take the tint of a new doubloonl |
Burned to a coal is the amber day,
Moons splendid fire has faded away,
And, lodged on the edge of a world
grass grown,
Like great live ember glOws the sun !;
When it falls behind the crimson bars
Look out for the sparks of the early stars.
With the clsng of her bell a motherly
brown
No trace of her lineage handed down
Is leading the long deliberate line
Of the DevOns red and the Durhams fine;
"CO-bOss! "Co-boss!" and the caravan
With dOwager swing comes down the
lane,
And lowing along from the clover bed
Troops over the bars with numbering
tread.
Under the lee of the patient beasts,
On the tripod stools like Pythian priests,
The tow-clsd boys and the linsey girls
Make the COWS "give down" in milky
swirls,
There's stormy time In the drifted
pals, gales.
There's sea-foam swath 10 the driving
Then girls and boys with whistle and
song,
Two pals apiece, meander along
The winding path in the golden gloom,
And ''set" the milk in the twilight room.
Toronto Truth.
